You know that anything after series 4 is 99% likely to not happen, right? It would be nice if it did, but that would just reach into a niche market that doesn't exist. Only a fraction of people watch South Park, and only about 1% of that fraction actually know the names of the lesser background characters.

My personal stopping point would be after series 8, then all of the living 4th graders would be accounted for and it would marketed as the "South Park 4th Grader Collection". It would be along the line of a Beanie Baby/Smurf collection. Craig would not have his middle finger sticking up on his plush in order to market this to kids. Kids would go crazy collecting the whole class in order to fulfill a full classroom. And whenever the collector would collect all 24, they would send away for a free Mr. Garrison to be the 24 kids' teacher, along with a classrom diorama complete with 23 desks, because Timmy's wheelchair is his desk. I wish I could tell Funko about my idea so I could even have a very tiny shot at making this happen.

I don't even think there's any plushes of Craig or Clyde. Probably no figures, either. I think there's one for Token, but that's because he's black. lol

No, not really.

I think plushes of Stan, Kyle, Wendy, Craig, Clyde, Token, Jimmy, Timmy, Tweek, Bebe, Red, Annie, Kevin, Bradley, and Lola would go well with the first 3 plushes. Series 6 would be a good stopping point, if it is not Series 8.

I wish I could contact Trey and Matt because the dicks at Funko and Mezco don't accept product and/or marketing suggestions, but I think South Park should start merchandising characters that are not the main five boys. Since I'm not a complete n00b, I know that there is absoulely no way to contact M&T. The only way to contact them would be a longshot and indirect: nall or ButtersDad would have to see this post and report their findings to Matt and/or Trey. Even though this will never happen, here is my idea: I think there should be merchandise of the following characters: Wendy, Craig, Clyde, Token, Jimmy, Timmy, Tweek, Bebe, Red, Kevin, Bradley, Mr. Garrison, Mr. Mackey, and Randy. The types of merchandise that would be sold would be apparel, posters, books, toys, electronics (video games), and other various items. They would start being sold between Q2 2011 and Q2 2012. The characters would also be seen in advertisements for the show and get more screen time. If the marketing of these characters is a success the second group of characters would be marketed: Annie, Francis, Lola, Heidi, Millie, Sally, Esther, Jason, Sharon, Shelley, Gerald, Sheila, Ike, Liane, Stuart, Carol, Stephen, Linda, Principal Victoria, Officer Barbrady, Sergeant Yates, Mitch, Big Gay Al, Mr. Slave, Mayor McDaniels, Dr. Mephisto, Mr. Hankey, Towelie, Jesus, Satan, Priest Maxi, and Skeeter. the same types of items would be sold for these characters. They would also be used in advertising for the show. So in conclusion, Step 1: Use in advertisements Step 2: Give them more screentime Step 3: Sell merchandise of the characters Step 4: PROFIT! Step 5: Repeat. I as a consumer would like to see at least the first set of characters merchandised, along with some 4th graders used in group 2. I think there is a high demand from fans for Craig, Clyde, Token, Tweek, Kevin, and Bradley merchandise for the female fanbase. The male fanbase wants to see Wendy, Bebe, and Red stuff. So all in all, this is a good idea, but I doubt anyone will pick up on this.

Mass production costs a lot of money, dude. The prototype from a good company costs a lot of money and sending it over seas to be mass produced is even more. You need to think realistically. Barely anybody knows any of the 4th grades besides the main five, Jimmy, Timmy, and Wendy. They have plushes. Why sell characters that people barely know? A manufacturer usually has a minimum order of 1,000 plushes from a single protype. I doubt they can even sell 200 of Craig.

Dont' want to be the kill joy or anything, but that's business.

What happened to Fun-4-All? They made the best South Park plushes. I heard they went out of business.

I am currently making plushes of any character that doesn't have an official plush. I am a long time seamstress and I actually know what I am doing. The protoype of a The Mole plush I am making look like the real deal and 'official' (embroidered/appliqued eyes/face and everything). I don't know about mass producing, though, unless a company wants to buy my patterns.

The Metrosexual Stan doll I own follows the same exact pattern, applique techniques.etc etc as Fun 4 All but the tag states that it was manufactured by a different company. I wonder if SPS is still contracting F4A for plush dolls.
